Interesting fact: most of the weapons that Czechoslovakia (I apologize if I spelled that wrong) sent to the Israelis were, in fact, surplus weapons that had been manufactured for the Wermacht in WW2. As such many, if not all of them, had improperly calibrated or sabotaged sights, which the Czechs had intended to mess with the Germans, but they forgot to inform the IDF about it until after the weapons had been shipped, issued and the Israelis had found out about the messed up sights. Still, it must have struck several of the Jews as ironic that they were now using Czech Vz. 24s, Kar98ks and other weapons made for the Nazis, to defend themselves, along with a smattering of American, British, Russian and even homemade weapons.

[@josephportnojgaj7096]

the Czechs did not send shit, these airplanes and munitions and arms were bought by Israel, it was not a gift, on the contrary, the Czechs aked 3 times more the price for the equipment, if the United States had not put an embargo on selling arms to Israel, things would have been different, but Washington had another agenda and was pretty sure that Israel would be destroyed, and many politicians hoped it will happen, the embargo continued until 1960, and until Israel procured the American government with a mig 17, then the USA-Israel relations started to warm up.

So from what ive gathered, the only reason the nakba happened is because the arabs attacked the israeli state upon creation, thus displacing most of their population due to their own loss. This is a major point because the narrative is often spun the other way around, but in reality the overwhelming majority of the arabs would have become israeli citizens, and even now we see that arab muslims are 20 percent of israeli citizens.

[@ixfr123]

The Arabs rejected the 2 state solution in 1948 which could have greatly reduced tensions in the region. We are still living with the fallout of their decision 75 years ago to not tolerate the existence of Jews in the region.

[@abdullahsamara2134]

He literally said in this video at 2:36 that there were already Palestinian refugees from flighting with Jewish militias before the creation of the state of Israel and in fact that was part of the reason why the Arab states invaded. Also if you think that if the Palestinians did not fight them they would have been given Israeli citizenship then you know nothing about Zionism. The plan was always to expel the Palestinians into neighboring countries and replace them with Jewish immigrants. 20th century Zionists spoke openly about this. they did not care about PR as much back then.

[@user-oe4wr9tc8e]

I'm a huge Israel supporter, but I believe there was some displacement of the Palestinian population prior to the 1948 war, though that too may have been in response to violence. But generally, you're absolutely correct. I'm certain that if the Arabs had stayed where they were, Israel would be a very different country today, with a much higher, but still peaceful, Arab population. If I remember correctly, Palestinian media, prior to the 1948 war, exaggerated the severity of Jewish violence to help convince the Arab states to invade. This worked, but it also had the effect of terrifying the Palestinian population, who fled their homes out of fear (thinking they'd return after the Arab armies finished wiping out the Jews)... Big mistake...

[@MohOEM]

Actually, Its the other way around. The massacres and expulsion of Arabs is what encouraged the Arab state more to enter the war.. How can Palestinians get expelled if armies fighting for them got defeated? Whats the relation? As for the possibillity of them staying, well, that also wouldn't have been allowed by the Israelis because then their state wouldn't have a majority Jewish population. It was percisely for this reason, that Israel planned the attacks on villages and expulsion. Read about "Plan Dalet" to understand rhe timeline and Israeli Intensions.

[@Darduel]

the exaggeration you are talking about was actually also one of the reasons many Palestinians just left, because they were afraid it would happen to them as well@@user-oe4wr9tc8e

[@redrackham6812]

Great video, but I do have to point out an error. The agreement between Israel and Egypt signed in 1948 was not, as a matter of law, a treaty. It was an armistice agreement, which has a lesser legal status. There would not be any treaties between Israel and any Arab state until 1979, when Israel and Egypt did finally conclude a peace treaty.

Well after WW2 there were a huge numbers of damaged or unfinished BF-109s in Czechoslovakia which Germans left there. So after the war Czechs used it and made their own plane from it. In 1948 there was a deal between Czechoslovakia and USSR that Czechoslovak army will re-arm to "soviet styled" weapons and equipment so these planes like Avia S-199, Spitfires (which Czechoslovakia had hundreds of pieces) were sold to other countries like Izrael for example which desperately needed it.

[@simonmabee100]

More equipment does not = more numbers. Israel had significant military advantages: unified command, internal lines of transit (easier to respond to attacks and mass forces for an assault of their own), significant military experience, and numeric superiority. Israeli forces also had superior morale and leadership. The one Arab military to perform well was Jordan b/c they had quality leadership and extensive training as well. The equipment likely factors into why Israel had comparable casualties to the Arab armies in the war. Now a situation where a group with numeric and technology inferiority that regularly kicks ass would be Hezbollah.

[@d3struction61]

​@@simonmabee100 You are ignorant and outrageous at the same time, not even worth my time, but I will comment anyway. First of all, the numbers Israel had were ALL THAT IT HAD, whilst the Arabs had a force they recruited, but had a way larger pool of manpower behind it. Second of all, in modern warfare, army vs army, even if you have the same numbers or more, when the other side has more guns, more tanks, more aircraft, more artillery, I hate to break it to you, but that's way worse than just being outnumbered. The days of one on one, face to face melee combat where numbers made a real difference are long gone. And lastly, seriously? do you really take one very poorly equipped army that fought for it's survival against 5 other countries and won against odds, and compare this to a war between a country and a well funded, well trained guerilla terrorist organization? I bet you didn't know but Hizbullah is one of the richest if not richest terrorist organization in the world today, and it's constantly being trained by Iran. They are supplied by their allies with the most advanced guns, AA and AT guns in the world. Hezbollah is a cowardly terrorist organization that only operates through firing missiles at civilians and employs hit and run guerilla warfare against the IDF. How exactly is this a "numeric and technology inferiority that kicks Israel's ass"? In open battle Hezbollah would be decimated within seconds against the IDF and they know it. Their only chance at survival is hiding behind their civilian population.

@@arthas640 Complete crap video and article. Totally biased and every point could be projected on Western superpowers and even Israel.

[@arthas640]

@@CaesarDicax depends on the western nation in question, and there's only 2 western super powers: the US and EU, and the US military has many flaws but not any that match what they mentioned in the video, and the EU is so diverse that its impossible to make any blanket statements (and they lack a unified military so you'd have to compare each individual nation). The US actually has historically averted the "top down" military structure and one thing many militaries the US has served alongside throughout history, and especially during both World Wars and during parts of the Cold War is that the US military seems chaotic and poorly disciplined from the outside. Part of this is from the US's individualistic nature and also because they've always had a strong focus on giving their men more initiative. Even the Soviets said that "American soldiers do not appear to read their own manuals or battle plans, nor do they appear to feel any need to follow them" and "the Americans are nearly impossible to plan against, they appear to practice controlled chaos". Israel meanwhile has an extremely well run military that completely averts the pitfall of having an overly rigid and authoritarian military. They focus more on training NCOs and to give their NCOs and lower officers more imitative and leeway in commanding their men, and they also teach their officers to bring up flaws/criticisms in planning so they can point out problems, offer up alternatives, and come up with creative solutions to problems. One thing I've heard from both a friend in the military that served over there and I've read about alot is that foreigners are often surprised by how open the Israeli military is, they're army is alot like many countries air force's in that there's more "equality" among the troops. The main flaw among Arab militaries, as mentioned in the video is their authoritarian, paternalistic military structure where the orders have to slowly trickle their way down from the top and the men on the front line arent given any leeway or individual initiative. This is a big problem that bit them in the ass when Saddam invaded Iran: the Iranians allowed their men to respond to problems as them arose and allowed them to do what they thought was best rather then just blindly following orders from Tehran. When communications got cut off the Arabs tended to dig in, hunker down, and wait for new orders while the Iranians responded as the situation changed. This was a big part of why Iraq had better equipment, more and better tanks, more and better air craft, and more soldiers in the beginning but ultimately suffered a strategic defeat.

I once thought that the 6 day and Yom Kippur wars were most indicative of Israel's military prowess. But having studied the history, the Israeli independence war was where Israel truly demonstrated its courage and determination. A fledgling unsupported state with many new immigrants, holding its own and eventually kicking ass against massive forces from 7 Arab countries. Though the video sites the number of infantry being more or less on par (since Israel drafted EVERYBODY), still the Arabs were much better equipped, and surrounded Israel on all sides. The only thing that prevented the Arabs from bringing in even more forces they had, was sheer hubris, they were certain they had far more than enough to defeat the "weak" Israelis. Boy were they in for a surprise.

They were from rich and influential families and had a comfortable life ahead of them. When it’s 25 to 1 odds you think it’s going to be a cake walk but those Israeli farmers just didn’t see it that way. Their very lives, their families and their whole entire existence was on the line. There was no retreat. It was fire, reload and fire till you’re dead for them. Once the officers started taking losses, they ran. Once they ran the lower ranks said, “Fuck this.” And they ran.

The US didn’t supply Israel until AFTER the 1967 war. Once again the Arabs chose unwisely. Some American Jews and other Americans did send money and a few went to Israel to fight.

Amazing, how much can be covered in a 24” episode with strategy illustrated by computer game battles. I’ve seen some historical episodes which are an hour to one and a half hrs and have interviews (they are fine, too).

@STORM LORD It was the fist true Cold War proxy. Many former nazi collaborators bolstered the ranks of the National Army while 14.000 bulgarian-speaking slavs helped the Democratic Army. After the war the communists were expelled with the greek ones settling in Tashkent, Uzbekistan (where many of the revolted against the leadership of the Greek Communist Party and were put down, hard). The slavs on the other hand settled in a certain former yugoslav republic that shall not be named ;) The prelude however is far more interesting: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dekemvriana

Also how did Israel "broke every rule known to man" but the Arabs didn't?

Fun fact: Jamal Nasser (future Egyptian leader and the person who ordered Egypt to start the six day war in 1967) was actually a soldier trapped in the Faluja pocket durning Israel independance war. When the war ended Rabbi Goren (the IDF rabbi) came to collect the bodies of religious IDF soldiers the Faluja pockets have killed and Nasser even saluted him despite Rabbi Goren being lower in rank then Nasser.

h 00 Israel started all the wars . The only war the Arabs started was in 1973 . Israel didn't exist in 1948 the Zionist were coming from Europe and invaded Palestine with the help from British, france and usa .

[@aaronws9561]

@@mikestar1137 In 1967 the Egyptians committed numerous acts of war giving Israel a Casus Belli to launch a preemptive attack. They closed the Straits of Tiran, removed the UN peacekeepers, stationed their army on Israels border, and stated that their intentions were to allegedly destroy Israel. Once they did that they became the aggressor. Not only is this the traditional way of how to interpret these events, but it is also international law. No matter how you try to squirm out of this then end result is that the Six Day War was initiated by the Arabs, albeit based on misleading intelligence from the Soviets.

Your modern warfare videos are my favorites, but to be honest I preferred the style of the Six-Days War video. The infantry divisions are oversized on the map and the fact that they pop in and out constantly makes it confusing ! However the narrator is still the best 👌

This war was smoke screened if you will by the swift 6 day war. This war is even more incredible in my opinion. How the Israelis only lost 1% of their population after this war whilst surrounded by 15 million Arabs at the time, boggles my mind. The Israelis are, although not perfect and have screwed up, are arguably the greatest fighters in modern history.

Have to agree with J Dekkers, the old style in the 6 days war video was alot better, this one is far more chaotic and hard to make out which territory belonged to whom. Still an awesome video as always, with lots of information, especially stuff people usually tend to forget, like the weapons and armor imports from other countries to the Jewish State.

It’s important to note that the borders at the start of the war were not the borders offered in the resolutions. They were far better and looking back the Arabs certainly should have agreed
